PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a magnetic
drilling machine. Do not use machine while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating magnetic drilling
machines may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying magnetic
drilling machines with your finger on the switch or plugging in magnetic drilling
machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Never place hands, fingers, gloves or clothing near cutting area or rotating machine
parts.
5. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the magnetic drilling machine in unexpected
situations.
7. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
8. Always use supplied safety chain during any work on non-horizontal components.
Mounting can release.
MACHINE USE AND CARE
1. When using the machine on non-horizontal surfaces, you must use cutting paste. Do
not use oil because the oil can drip into the motor unit
2. During machine operations, the annular cutter must be cooled and lubricated with
good quality cutting or lubrication oil. Remove the slug from the annular cutter after
each hole. Caution, the slug may be hot!
3. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
4. Do not use machine if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
5. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
6. Store idle magnetic drilling machines out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
7. Maintain machines with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
8. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the machine operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
9. Use only accessories that are recommended for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one machine, may become hazardous when used on another machine.
